Can I connect deco’s to Ethernet ports through house?

I have numerous Ethernet ports throughout my house that connect back to our main modem/ router.
Can I plug a deco m5 directly in to one of those Ethernet ports, to provide fast wifi on that room.

currently we just have the 3 deco's connected via wifi but the signal is pretty weak in some rooms.

thanks

@tomwoodhouse

You should be able to do that, and you will see visible improvement in WiFi speeds.

When you connect multiple Deco units with Ethernet cables to ISP modem/router, Deco mesh must run in Access Point mode for that to work. See Switching a Deco to Access Point (AP) Mode
